Use when writing project instructions for a coding agent (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or equivalent). Covers what belongs in them, what does not, structure, and keeping them accurate as the project changes. Trigger on "write a claude.md for this repo", "set up agents.md", "the agent keeps running the wrong test command". Do not use for rules that must hold every time — see the hooks skill; for notes the agent writes itself, see the agent-memory skill.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'agent-instructions' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'agent-instructions' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named agent-instructions already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '1691932edc17063d712a85d02bcc7a1cd3791057' -- 'skills/agent-tooling/agent-instructions' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/agent-tooling/agent-instructions' ~/.agents/skills/'agent-instructions' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'agent-instructions' ~/.claude/skills/'agent-instructions' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
